Background
I started playing games on a C64 but soon I wanted to make my own, so I learned basic which was nice for a while. Then I started coding demo's and games in 6510 assembly which was much nicer. I even completed a game or two and tried to get them published and failed miserably :-) Meanwhile I started studying electronics and another computer came, the Amiga for which I wrote some nice things like a turn based StarTrek game and a clone of the game 'Conflict' this time placed in Irak (yes it was the time of Gulf War I). Also I made some text adventures. As my electronics study progressed I needed a PC and learned Turbo Pascal and Delphi thereafter.
Profession
I work fulltime for 42, a company that specialises in J2EE and SOA implementations. Have a look at my linked-in profile.
Hobbies
Playing games, making games, programming frameworks, Masters of Java

Career Summary
I have been building technical, administrative and entertainment software professionally since my college days. Anything from small to medium size projects often doing the design and part of the implementation. I look ahead, solving problems before they occur. Besides software design and implementation I like to communicate and have been a trainer for several years on a part time basis. I also do computer graphics and animation with reasonable success.
The games I really enjoyed playing.
This game still haunts my mind.. Sometimes I can hear the music..
The best RTS ever made.
I just love the WarGames look and feel and the eery soundtrack.
I just love the first orphanage level, where (almost) nothing happens but its scary like hell.
Awesome.
